The Monster Piece OF Artillery Recently
Designed by Krnpp.
1t is announced that Herr Krupp, the
great high priest of destruction, is now
constructing q gun larger and more
powerful than any of the monsters he
has hitherto produced. 1t is 523 feet
long and weighs 3l5, 900 pounds. though
it has a bore Of only l5i inches. Its
lightest projectile will weigh 1852
pounds and will be propelled by l.O7O
pounds of prismatic brown powder.
What is to be the end of this sort of
thing? Years ago Krupp was thought
to have attained the perfection Of artil.
lery, but he has gone on steadily max.
ing bigger and o powerful guns
until it seems that he will never
reach his limit. In all probability.
however. he will not attempt to make .
greater gun than the one he is now
constructing. The demand for such
enormous pieces will never be large.

Why Psreuts Should He Slow In Con.
demning the Little Ones.
Though many children are put
down as needless, there are very few
real needless children. There is al.
ways some good and sufficient reason
for the apparent heedlessness of most
Of the little ones. and if the parents Of
these children would take the trouble
to examine into the cause they would
be very soon convinced that the little
ones were not to blame. But most
parents will not do this; they have
firmly settled it to their own satisfac.
ton that = child is needless, and no
amount Of argument will convince
them to the contrary. Through
thoughtlessness or wilful heedlessness,
which should be applied more
properly. to such parents than tc
the child, they brand the boy
with a fault which it is very likely he
never had. This is certainly wrong.
It is unjust to themselves and the child.
1t is a sad thing, nevertheless it is true,
that when such parents sit in judgment
on their own child, they are the most
cruel Of all judges, for they persist in
convicting without a particle Of evil
dence but their own BIASED opinion.
The child very soon learns that his own
denials do not help him, and quietly
submits to the decree, Notwithstanding
his little heart is sore from the injustice
that has been done to him.
willie is such needless boy,' you
may hear some Of them say, II have
called him twice and he never pretends
to hear me. I don't know what to do
with him." But" remarks some
one. ''perhaps he doesn't hear you.'
'Oh, he hears me, fast enough. for
yesterday he was twice as far away and
he answered my first CALI Such a
person never stops to reason or think
for a moment that the child may be
deaf on n side, or that a catarrhal
affection may affect his hearing some
days more than others. These parents
are fond of quoting the old adage:
There are none so deaf as those who
won't hear" although the companion:
There are none so blind as those who
won't see," would be more applicable
to themselves.
remember one child branded with
this one fault, who was otherwise an
intelligent, bright little fellow, with
whom you could not think Of associat-
ing the charge Of heedlessness, yet his
parents being the accusers, it was hard
to form an opinion. At the solicitation
of a friend Of the family, the mother
brought him to a well-known aurist for
examination, and was Mortified to learn
that the hearing n ear had been
totally destroyed by a catarrhal trouble
which had been wholly overlooked by
both parents. This child had been re-
primanded often, ever in the presence
of strangers, for a fault which he did
not possess, and of which he had no
knowledge whatever.
Be careful, then, how you charge a
child with heedlessness; be convinced,
not by your own ''infallible'' opinion,
but by competent medical authority.
his hearing is sound ere you &C.

a little thing to us, but the remem-
brance of an act of injustice toward n
child will linger long in the little ones
memory, and is very often never OBJ
